“There wasn’t a soul in the audience who wasn’t stomping their feet and clapping along.” – Baltimore Magazine 

Fresh from its sold-out run of Cinderella, ArtsCentric returns to BCS with this warm-hearted, holiday classic! Using a heart-stopping fusion of blues, soul, jazz, spirituals, jubilant dance, and the powerful words of Langston Hughes, BLACK NATIVITY is the joyous retelling of how Jesus came into this world, seen through a unique African American kaleidoscope. This holiday season, gather your family, friends, and loved ones and experience together the show that “spreads joy!” (The New York Times).

In celebration of this production, esteemed composer and music director of the play, Cedric D. Lyles will release the BLACK NATIVITY album.
